If it belongs to a package, "pkg_info -F /usr/X11R6/bin/xgettext" may
show you which one.

Not generally, no. (Though I do, in fact.) If we are installing
identically named binaries under $X11PREFIX and $LOCALBASE, it will
mess up xpkgwedge, so it's a bug.

If the misfit xgettext belongs to a package, we should fix it;
otherwise it's your call.
